How to Make Great Super Bowl Appetizers

When I host something like a Super Bowl party, I start with chicken
wings recipes. They are always a hit and make a great presentation. When you learn how to cook for a crowd you must know the best places to buy your ingredients. I
buy 10 pound bags frozen wings from Sams or Costco. I thaw the wings and
dry on paper towels. I then divide the wings in three. One third I
will bread with seasoned flour and deep fry. One third I fry just in oil
and then I make a hot wings recipe out of these. The last one third I
put in the oven and bake with a sauce to make teriyaki chicken wings.
When I am ready to serve the wings I group them together on a large
round platter, I trim around the edges with fresh kale and garnish with a
tomato rose.

These wings can be a “make ahead appetizers recipes” which is great for
super bowl appetizer recipes. Just prepare and cool. Place each recipe
in freezer bags or containers. Refrigerate for up to 2 days or freeze
for up to 1 week. Thaw if frozen and reheat before serving. If you are
cooking for a crowd figure the amount of wings you will need; my
experience is that many men will eat 15 to 20 of these wings.
